David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Absolutely loved 28YL: The Bone Temple. Thought it was more focused and intelligent than its predecessor- not afraid to breathe and let the viewer think. Preferred the stillness of this to Boyle’s manic style. And there’s a proper hootin’ and hollerin’-worthy set piece late on 050 0
David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 13/01/2026Smooth Talk (1985): Thought this was excellent. A remarkable evocation of teenage life that turns abruptly into something much darker. Laura Dern has been great since day one 081 0

David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 09/12/2024My favourite books I read in 2024 (2/2). John Lurie's superlative biography, an disturbing and unexpectedly timely history of South Korea from the new Nobel laureate, a kaleidoscopic portrait of hell, and above everything, Marcel P, who provided me with the experience of my life 080 0
David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 09/12/2024My favourite books I read in 2024 (1/2). An epic poem about poetry, German misanthropy, Parisian therapists, a history of viruses, hauntings in the Alps and the American South, a huge whale in a collapsing town, and a portrait of stolen childhood 2220 0

David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 16/11/2024The Landlord (1970): Hal Ashby, script by the great Bill Gunn, shot by Gordon Willis, scored by Al Kooper. A bruising and complex satire of gentrification. Like Elaine May, Ashby has no truck with the innocent American hero, pulling the facade away to reveal something nastier 1110 0

David Hering @davidhering.bsky.social · 12/11/2024Finished John Lurie's memoir The History of Bones. A genuinely wondrous account of the art life, the NYC scene in the 70s and 80s and its many highs and frustrations, the miracle of bands and how tough it is to maintain them. Very frank, very funny, often touching. 2110 0
